... more "Love You Much" Valentine's Day Cards

Me and my daughter Heather went downstairs and enjoyed some delicious chicken pot pies from Schwan's.. and then back upstairs for her to try and defeat a level on Super Mario Bros on the Wii.. and for me to make some more of the embossed Valentine's Day cards, I really liked the one I made earlier today.

This time I eliminated the white card back.. I realized it's not for me, so this time I did Real Red card bases. Stamp set: Stampin' UP! Well Scripted. Embossing Folder: Cuttlebug 5 pk I got yesterday at HL. I punched out the saying with a heart punch and layered it on a scalloped heart punch out.

These cards are super duper easy

OWH "Love You Much" embossed card

There's a Midweek Throwdown Challenge on the Operation Write Home website: "White on White with a Pop of Color"... I have never ever made a card base of white.. but thought what the heck!

The sentiment is from a Stampin' UP! stamp set "Well Scripted".. I stamped it, punched it out with a heart punch, then layered it on a scalloped heart punch.
White Cardstock for the base, Real Red layer and then white cardstockt hat I embossed with a new Cuttlebug embossing folder (they were in a 5 pack)that are from a local craft store (HL), I got them yesterday and thought I'd put them to use.

**EDITED TO ADD: After lunch, I made four more cards.. this time doing away with the white card base. MORE VALENTINE'S DAY CARDS

CCC11 "Merriest Wishes" Santa Claus Christmas Cards

I thought I'd work on some more Christmas cards tonight for the challenge on SCS. I sat down at my desk and was looking up at the picture holders above the racks that hold all my ink pads and seen three already stamped Santa Claus layers. I had these leftover from when I made the 18 cards for our Battalion food baskets back in December, so I thought I'd make three more of those cards because they really were a lot of fun to make.


I cut the three card bases out of Crumb Cake/Kraft, a layer in Real Red that I ran through the Bigkick using a SU embossing folder.. then wrapped and tied some ribbon around each Santa Claus panel, stamped the saying, punched it out along with a layer for it, put them all together... and waalaa.. I was done.

CCC11 SC316 ~ "A Merry Christmas" card

I recently signed up for a Christmas Card Challenge on SCS. Each month you set a goal and make that amount of cards. This is my first card and it took me quite a while tonight to complete.. I am not one that really likes to make duplicate cards for things like this, so I take my time while making each card. The layout on this card using a sketch challenge, also on SCS: SC316


Everything on this card is Stampin' UP! except for the Nestabilities die I used for the tag, the Tombow markers used to color it in, and the embossing folder on the two panels.


Stampin' UP! stamp set Bells & Boughs, DSP, Very Vanilla, Soft Suede, Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake. Always Artichoke ink sponged on papers.

I made two more of the same kinds of cards... "Love You"

Since I had already stamped and colored in the "Love You" layers, I decided to make a couple more cards using the same papers, cardstock, and ribbon. I used an embosslit to make the butterflies this time.

OWH Sketch #34 ~ "LOVE YOU" card

Last night I made a card using the Operation Write Home Sketch #52, and on the same post, they had a sketch #34, so tonight I thought I'd make one using that layout.


This card uses the same Stampin' UP! stamp set Dreams du Jour that I used on the last card posted. I had stamped a bunch of the images, and had the Bella Rose DSP out, so I thought I'd make another card.

"Love You" card.. cased big time! ha ha

I was surfing on ebay earlier today and happened to see someone selling some card kits and this was one of the card designs that they used. It was so pretty that I thought I'd make one myself.. especially considering I have a bunch of the Bella Rose paper left.. it is SO beautiful. Maybe I'll make more and use it all up.
The stamped image is from a Stampin' UP! set called Dreams du Jour and I used all Stampin' UP! DSP & Cardstock for the card, the beautiful ribbon is vanilla SU ribbon as well.

Birthday card that Taylor made for her friend

Taylor made this card for a friend at school who has a birthday this month. She used the Stampin' UP! set Glam Girl (ret.) and all SU cardstock. After she made the card, she spritzed some Smooth Spritz all over it.. making it all "sparkly!" as she put it.

"Happy Valentine's Day".. your unforgettable card

I was getting ready to head downstairs and to bed, being that it's 1:37 am ~ yikes, I didn't realize that it was that late.. or early for that matter. I seen that OWH posted a sketch layout that showed up in my Google Reader, however when I click on it to open on their site, it's gone, so I wonder if someone posted it early. I'll check again tomorrow.
I used Stampin' UP! Have a Heart (ret.) and all Stampin' UP! cardstock. I tend to always reach for this fun Valentine's Day set.
